I believe to reset a bone you use reset transform or something like that . Then select the bone and use the rotate functions I assume your doing it in an animation . If it looks invisible did you convert the mesh to a skin then add bones to the verts ? It may also be that you have to invert the normals if the texture is on the wrong side of the triangle . Is it an imported model ?

Convert your mesh to a skin then selected the skin clicked on Edit Vertices . You can then select the vertices . Blue are unassigned red are assigned . You can use the select unassigned button to select all unassigned vertices as well . Click on assign to bone and then select a bone or pick one from the scene list . Unselect the edit vertices button . Choose the bone . Press the R on the menu ( Rotation ) and enter a new value for rotation . The verts assinged to the bone should move . Set a key frame then do another frame I guess . If you want your model to start and end in the same postion save keyframe 0 copy it select the last keyframe and paste . The do the frames in between . If you import models first thing you should to is select all the verts then weld them . Models like 3ds models usually import badly .

I'll try it, but i must install lightreay on Windows XP because on Vista when i rotate model part, this part start blinking and drawing something like shadow....



Well, how can i edit part of model? Edit Vertixes?
